Abstract

The success of second language acquisition (SLA) is influenced by both external and internal factors, with internal factors comprising individual differences (IDs) among learners. Among these IDs, personality has increasingly been recognized as a significant determinant in SLA success. This study investigates the impact of personality on SLA of a visually-impaired student learning English. Employing a case study method, the research focuses on a fifth-grade student with congenital visual impairment. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews to provide an in-depth analysis of the participant’s personality in relation to SLA outcomes. The findings reveal that three personality traits—openness to experience, neuroticism-emotional stability, and extraversion-introversion—exert direct influences on the learner’s SLA. Additionally, two traits, conscientiousness and agreeableness, have indirect impacts. This study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between personality traits and SLA among visually impaired learners, providing valuable insights for English language teachers to address learners' IDs effectively. Furthermore, it contributes to the limited body of research on SLA and personality traits within the context of visually impaired learners, serving as a reference for future investigations in this area.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the use of idiomatic expression as a translation activity to increase the students’ pragmatic awareness. Idiomatic expressions were used as the exercise materials since the expressions contain cultural content that needs to be translated appropriately based on context, therefore, the learners have an opportunity to explore the use of the idiomatic expression in its natural situation. This research applied the descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data and describe the finding. The data used were the translation result of 70 English Department Students who took English-Indonesian Translation Course at Universitas Negeri Semarang. They were given two translation exercises containing sentences with idiomatic expressions taken from Crazy Rich Asians Novel. The students had to translate the sentences from English to Indonesian. Then, the results of the students’ exercises were compared to comprehend the learners’ pragmatic awareness. The result proved that there was an improvement after they were given the activities as well as explicit explanations about the meaning and the appropriate use of idiomatic expressions, it showed that their awareness of the idiomatic expressions had increased and as a result, they have a better understanding of the use of the idiomatic expressions in everyday life.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the REAP (Read, Encode, Annotate, Ponder) strategy on students’ reading comprehension across different reading habits. The research was conducted with 10 second-semester students from the English Language Education program at FKIP UNISKI Kayuagung. This study applied a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design. A reading habits questionnaire and a reading comprehension test were employed to collect the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. Results indicated significant improvements in reading comprehension following the implementation of the REAP strategy, with high and low reading habits groups showing substantial gains. The REAP guided students to listen and read in the reading phase, and then encoding helped them to rephrase their ideas. After that, they could highlight the key points in annotation. Finally, they did group discussions. This process boosts comprehension for all students, regardless of reading habits. Additionally, student perceptions of the REAP strategy varied, with those possessing strong reading habits responding more positively. These findings suggest that the REAP strategy is an effective tool for enhancing reading comprehension across reading habits, fostering skill refinement in proficient readers and marked improvement in less proficient ones.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a critical aspect of language learning, yet traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students. Game-based learning (GBL), particularly using platforms like Kahoot, has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges by fostering an engaging and interactive learning environment. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of GBL, specifically using Kahoot games, in improving vocabulary acquisition and enhancing student engagement among 7th-grade students. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of pre-test and post-test scores with qualitative insights gathered from student interviews and classroom observations. With a mean difference of -26.000, t = -17.085, and p = 0.000, the paired sample t-test findings indicate a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores and 0.9150 is the mean N-Gain score. The study suggests that integrating educational games like Kahoot into the classroom can effectively enhance vocabulary acquisition and create an engaging learning environment. so that the implementation of Game-Based Learning based on Kahoot games can be applied according to current conditions and can be more optimal in the future.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the utilization of deixis in song lyrics. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research focuses on the lyrics of two songs, “Popular” and “Yes, and,” performed by Ariana Grande. The analysis of these songs revealed the presence of various deixis types, with distinct frequencies observed in each song. Specifically, the identified deixis categories include personal deixis, temporal deixis, spatial deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. The findings for “Popular” show 55 of personal deixis, 2 instances of spatial deixis, 7 of temporal deixis, 2 of discourse deixis, and 1 social deixis. In contrast, the analysis of “Yes, And” revealed 63 instances of personal deixis, 17 instances of spatial deixis, 1 temporal deixis, 2 of discourse deixis, and 3 of social deixis. Based on these results, it can be concluded that personal deixis is the most frequently used type in both songs. The result of this research shown how deixis analysis in song lyrics contribute in teaching and learning for ELT students.

Abstract

This paper presents some alternative activities using Plotagon as media to teach English skills in English language teaching (ELT) contexts. Plotagon is a video creator application allowing users to make interactive and attractive video materials in the form of storytelling animation.This paper particularly offers how to use Plotagon to make teaching and activities are more interactive in and beyond the classroom. Furthermore, Plotagon is potential to enhance not only teachers but also students’ creativity. The substitution augmentation modification redefinition (SAMR) model is also applied to describe how Plotagon is used in different levels of teaching and learning activities. Thus, this paper is expected to contribute practically to the teachers’ development and innovation especially in English language teaching contexts.
